Do you hear "if"?

At 35 seconds, Thor says: If you believe in peace, then let us keep it.

Did Thor pronounce "if" at all? I don't hear it.

If you were to transcribe the line, would you put it like above or like the following without "if"?

You believe in peace, then let us keep it.

Thanks.
Do you have any idea why every the search result in Google of "https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=%22you+believe+in+peace+then+let+us+keep+it%22" comes with "If" at the beginning?

Those who listened to the clip must not have heard "if" for sure. B

It may be in the script; or the transcribers may be 'correcting the grammar'; or the version you've linked us to has had 'if' clipped out in the editing; or it may really be there, but neither you nor I can hear it or see his lips move.
